275/55R17
28.9" overall
719rpms
36lbs
255/70R16
30.2" overall
692rpms
34lbs
So you'll have a bit more gap between the tire & fender, 0.65", & your speedometer & tach might be off SLIGHTLY by a bit due to the more higher, 27 rpms, but probably no more than it mighta been already. And you'll be 8lbs heavier overall from just the tires plus whatever the wheel weight difference is.

I ran a set of General Grabber UHP's on my 04 GMC w/ denali wheels & Shackles, and spring clamps, then I also added 1" front drop coils. I thought it looked damn good. I'll try to post some pics.
